2023 SPX Lenten Commitment Card

Behold, now is a very acceptable time; 
behold, now is the day of salvation.  (2 Cor 5:20-6:2)

In the early Church, Lent was the time for the final preparation of catechumens, or adults seeking to join the Church through Baptism.  Later, Lent became a time for public penance for serious sinners, who reconciled themselves to the Church through prayer, fasting, and rituals such as the imposition of ashes. In our modern era, Lent is a season of prayer and repentance for all Christians in preparation for the celebration of the Easter mysteries.

The holy season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts through Holy Week, culminating in the sacred days of the Paschal Triduum and leading us to rejoice with the risen Lord on Easter.  Lent is a blessed opportunity for us to deepen our relationship with God.  Practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving are traditional ways to deepen our conversion to Christ throughout the season of Lent.
